If Nintendo finally decides to make a home console after the Switch that is as powerful as the Xbox One X and can handle every single game that was ever made, why dont they "remake" the NES to fit into the modern era. Im just dreaming here, but what ideas do you think Nintendo has for their next console? Or even handheld?

No idea, and I honestly don't think it's worth speculating on with virtually no information
Exactly and considering we probably wont get a new console for at least another 4 to 5 years anyway this thread is pretty much pointless.

You guys are jerks. If he wants to speculate, why not?

When is speculation ever anything but pointless? People do it because it's fun.

Personally, I think whatever they release next is going to be very similar to the switch. Home and portable are gonna be all-in-one now. That merger isn't exactly easy to come back from imo.

The only thing I could see Nintendo doing somewhat soon is focusing on the switch.
We most definitely will be getting a revision because of the hardware exploit. What that will entail? Who knows?
I think like other consoles they'll suck it dry before stopping support.

Nintendo had always been closer to the handheld market and doing things "out of the box."
In maybe 2 years we'll get a revised "New Nintendo Switch" with beefed up specs and maybe a better battery life.

Remember Nintendo isn't about making the most powerful system, but about the experience you have while playing a game.
It's what causes that people to have nostalgia and how we recognize things as "Nintendo Polish."

I'm placing my bets on another hybrid console, if anything. Clearly there's a market for it and the concept sells, and as long as the other console manufacturers aren't doing it, Nintendo'll be there to fill the demand. I could see mobile chips getting better and them releasing a "Switch 2" that can at least pull its weight with the other big dogs, maybe even through a dock with a secondary GPU or something. But I think another hybrid console for sure.

This reminds me of seeing pictures of the next "Xbox 720" when the 360 was still a thing and the pics had controllers with dozens of buttons and sticks everywhere as if the concept to imagine the design was so out of reach that we assumed it would go this way or that way with the current tech at the time.

Ofc we know what the next console is going to be. The Nintendo 64 Classic Edition.

Joking aside, there's no point in discussing Nintendo's next gen console after the Switch when there's virtually no information out there and because the Switch has only been out for more than a year so it's still very early in its life cycle.

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it

  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    yes looks like an faulty sd

    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards
